Examples of anisometropia
anisometropia
Gross anisometropia is the difference of more than 2 diopters between the eyes.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Anisometropia exists when there is a difference in the refraction between the two eyes.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Frequently, amblyopia is associated with a combination of anisometropia and strabismus.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The two main causes of amblyopia include strabismus, or eye misalignment, and a difference in the power between the two eyes, also known as anisometropia.
From the abcnews.go.com
The amount of anisometropia in the entire group showed no change between 6 months and 2.5 years of age but increased between 2.5 and 10 years.

The term anisometropia means that one eye may see quite well without any need for glasses and the other eye may be very far-sighted or very near-sighted or have a significant astigmatism.
From the abcnews.go.com
About one-third to one-half of the cases are caused by differences in the degree of nearsightedness or farsightedness between the two eyes, a condition known as anisometropia.
From the sciencedaily.com
Anisometropia, defined as a difference of more than 1 diopter of refractive error between the two eyes, was found in 4 to 6 percent of preschoolers in both ethnic groups.
From the sciencedaily.com
Anisometropia can adversely affect the development of binocular vision in infants and children if there is a large difference in clarity between the two eyes.
From the en.wikipedia.org
- Difference in the refractive power of the two eyes
- Anisometropia is the condition in which the two eyes have unequal refractive power; that is, are in different states of myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) or in the extreme, antimetropia (wherein one eye is myopic and the other is hyperopic), the unequal refractive states cause ...
- Condition where the eyes have a significantly different refractive power from each other, so the prescription required for good vision will be different for each eye.
- What is the meaning of anisometropia and what are its signs,symptoms and treatments?
- Difference of the refractive error of the eyes; e.g., one eye nearsighted and the other farsighted. May cause amblyopia.
